Accounting is only part of what happens in any business’s office.\u00a0 So why stop with automating your accounting?\u00a0 How much of your work is managed on a spreadsheet, or even with pencil and paper?\u00a0 Electronic Service Control (ESC) by dESCO (no that’s not a typo) gives service companies such as HVAC, plumbing, and others a comprehensive solution for managing the work in your office.\u00a0 And it integrates with Peachtree so you don’t have to enter information in two places.<\/p>\n
ESC offers a core program that provides the main features as well as several optional modules that can expand its capabilities.\u00a0 The core software allows you to look up a customer and see their service history, installed equipment, warranty information, service agreements, and quotes.\u00a0 It also allows you to dispatch from a daily, weekly, or monthly view of the dispatch board.\u00a0 Rescheduling is a easy as dragging and dropping an appointment to a new time or technician.\u00a0 You can even schedule crews instead of individuals.\u00a0 And the dispatcher can include a list of required parts when needed.<\/p>\n
Service agreements are also part of the core program.\u00a0 Agreements can be annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly, or even daily.\u00a0 Usage based service agreements allow you to sell service contracts based on hours, miles, meter reading, or any other unit.\u00a0 ESC simplifies renewals by allowing you to send out renewal notices without recording an invoice in Peachtree until the customer signs off on the renewal.<\/p>\n
If you use flat rate pricing, you can import many of the most popular price books or set up your own.<\/p>\n
Optional modules will let you integrate mapping, routing, caller ID, vehicle GPS, mobile computing and more.\u00a0 A 30 day free trial of the core program is available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
